Thomas Coopers Irish Stout homebrew kit

The Coopers range of home brew beer kits all  contain  1.7kgs  of premium quality Australian barley.

This Thomas Cooper Irish Stout kit produces 40 pints of rich, full bodied, coffee, chocolate and licorice flavoured beer, with a rich foaming head and a dry finish.

 

According to Coopers, the authentic combination of malted barley, roasted barley and flaked barley helps to produce a beer that when poured, shows a "turbulent, cascading tan foaming action" which eventually "settles into a creamy beige coloured head that rests atop the beer." 

 

With 1.7kgs of malt extract, it will require the addition of 1kg of brewing sugar, unless you follow Coopers suggested guidelines and make it with 5oogms of Coopers Light Dry Malt Extract (spraymalt) + 300gms of brewign sugar.
